No words of mine can ever express the true admiration we have always had for this lovely lady & child of God since first we met when our sons were in the same class at South Hill Elementary School starting in 1961. Her quiet & gracious ways & joyful laughter hid heartaches & pain yet she was filled with compassion, love, patience & concern for others.

Now she sleeps, as the Bible says, until that glorious morning when our Lord comes to call forth His children from their graves to take them with Him to His & their Heavenly home where there will be no sting of death, no more memories of sorrows & heartaches. All the tears will have been wiped away. Florence, that wonderful Mother, Grandmother, family member & friend will be welcomed with arms opened wide into God's presence.

Please accept our most sincere condolences.

Florence became a good friend to my mother while she also lived at Oak Hill. She was a wonderful blessing our church services on the days Brooktondale Baptist Church held chapel service.

She became my friend as we talked before and after services.
